Monument record TQ 87 NE 1211 - ?Medieval or post medieval counter wall, Yantlet Creek

The earthwork remains of two parallel lengths of bank on the northern bank of the Yantlet Creek, on Allhallows Marshes which may be the remains of a former counter wall of medieval or post medieval date. These banks were seen centred at TQ 8594 7672, extending for 285m (E-W) to the north of the present creek. The eastern end of the southern bank bends sharply to the south to meet the edge of the creek. These banks were mapped from Environment Agency lidar imagery as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. A later counter wall recorded on the current Ordnance Survey map can be seen to intersect these banks. (1)
